A good fit for the Angels bullpen.

Naturally, Acuna had no problem with it.

Probably an unpopular opinion, but I love when position players pitch. Enjoy it before they institute the "mercy rule"!

Not unpopular with me. I get a kick out of it. I remember Chris Davis getting a win in relief against the Red Sox about a decade ago. This past weekend the Rays sent their backup catcher out there against the Astros for an inning and he was the most hittable "pitcher" I think I've ever seen. Just lobbing it in there. The Astros hit some rockets off him. They should have him pitch to everyone in that Home Run Derby.

I loved it!

I cannot remember any 'quasi' pitchers throwing this slow (34!!!)...and almost all of them were strikes.


About 20 years ago, I was playing Senior Fall League Baseball and slow-pitch softball the same week - and my timing was so screwed up, I stuck out multiple times in the softball games....so, I can empathize with the MLBers not named Acuna.
